Selections From William Hazlitt

Excerpt from Selections From William Hazlitt: Edited With Introduction and NotesThis volume gives, as far as space permits, essays of Hazlitt which distinguish him as a critic of painting, of the drama, of books, and Of life. If the lover Of Hazlitt fails to find here some favorite essay, let him take consolation from the fact that the present editor has again and again been compelled to omit some essay without which at first he thought the volume would be al together incomplete. Though restricted, the selection will, it is hoped, introduce the new reader to one of the most interesting men and one Of the most stimulating critics, one who could write truthfully, I have endeavored to feel what is good and to give a reason for the faith that was in me, when necessary and when in my power.Each of the essays, complete in itself, has been carefully printed from the text which was approved by Hazlitt himself.Even the spelling and punctuation Of the original have been scrupulously followed. This will explain certain inconsistencies in punctuation and in the spelling, especially of proper names.Doubtless Hazlitt, sentimentalist as he was, would have smiled at any editor who should attempt to identify his quota tions and to explain his references. However, in the study of an essayist it is interesting to know something Of the wealth of his reading, and it is necessary to explain the allusions which, though clear to the reader Of his day, are Obscure to us Of another century.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
